Answer:

<u>A gerund</u>

Explanation:

A gerund is a word that looks like a verb but that does not act as one, and that, instead, acts as a noun in a sentence. It is formed with a verb root plus the ending “ing,” like “winning” and “thinking.” The sentence provided contains a gerund, namely, “acting” which in this case functions as a predicate noun, completing the linking verb “be” and renaming the noun “his major.”

What conflict arises between Snowball and Napoleon in the book Animal Farm? How does it reflect their differing goals as leader?
siniylev [52]
Snowball wanted that every animal on the farm be treated the same, no matter the size, or what type they were. He exectued his plans in a way that every animal did their own share of work, and were rewarded for doing such. Napoleon also had this same idea, but was eventually corrupted with the luxuries of the house. Napoleon eventually started to work the animals just like the farmer had done. This reflects their differing goals because it shows the true nature of each character - Snowball, the ready leader. And Napoleon, the corrupted ruler who eventually turned on what was once his views.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of "The Veil?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The narrator feels conflicted about wearing a veil.

Explanation:

Marjane has conflicting feelings towards the use of the veil.

She and her friends don't like the veil, and they don't understand why they force them to wear it.

Marjane likes to play with her friends, pretending they are revolutionary people, and even her mother goes to a protest without wearing the veil and is photographed, which creates fear that someone will recognize her through photographs.

Despite being young, Marjane wants to attend the protests, but her parents don't allow it.

The whole theme with the mandatory use of the veil generates mixed feelings in the protagonist, who states:<em> 'We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends." </em>

What makes this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens an example of direct characterization? The elderly female was a wom
insens350 [35]

Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.
